Fernando Fula’s Stories, Lessons & Insights

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Fernando Fula. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Fernando, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
Hunger to Reclaim Childhood. This series isn’t just about my story it’s about creating space for others to see their own experiences reflected. Each piece becomes a meeting point, a place where healing, stories, and conversation can connect. The real work happens in those shared moments when people realize they’re not alone in what they’ve felt.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Fernando Fula, a multidisciplinary artist exploring how memory, identity, and community shape the way we progress. My series Hunger to Reclaim Childhood grew out of that curiosity and desire to rebuild connection through shared experiences of growth and recovery.

What makes my work unique is how it blends personal reflection with collective storytelling. Each piece invites viewers to not just look, but to feel seen. I’m building a creative space where art becomes dialogue, a place for people to reflect, relate, and remember that progress not perfection can be a communal act.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I was just a kid chasing sunlight and scribbling on anything I could find. I was curious, and always searching for connection through color and movement. Somewhere along the way, that energy got covered by expectation and structure.

My art is me finding that version of myself again, the one who created without fear of being misunderstood. It’s about remembering the freedom that existed before labels, and rebuilding a space where that kind of authenticity can live again, not just for me but for everyone who sees themselves in the work.

When you were sad or scared as a child, what helped?
Drawing, painting, even just building things out of scraps gave me a sense of control and possibility. Art became a language for emotions I didn’t know how to express.

Over time, that small act of making turned into a way of progress. It taught me that even in fear, there’s space to imagine something new. That same spirit lives in Hunger to Reclaim Childhood, it’s about showing that creativity can turn vulnerability into strength, and isolation into connection.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
Success should be measured by visibility or market value. Because of this, many artists end up overlooked for opportunities, influence, and recognition. The issue isn’t a lack of effort or talent it’s that the system makes it hard for artists to truly belong. There’s so much creative potential lost when value is measured by how it performs in a gallery.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
Most people think healing is about fixing what’s broken, but it’s really about learning to live with the pieces and seeing beauty in how they fit together. We come from infinity, step into the endless possibilities of being, and ultimately return to that same infinite source carrying the stories we’ve shaped along the way.

Through Hunger to Reclaim Childhood, that journey comes to life. It shows us what we carry and connects us to others doing the same. That shared experiences is what turns art from something personal into something collective, something larger than any one of us.
